The organisers of the Giro d'Italia have announced that the daily intermediate sprints of the Corsa Rosa will be known as the Red Bull KM, awarding time bonuses of six, four and two seconds to the first three riders to the line.
Instead of the usual line on the road and a banner indicating the intermediate sprint, Giro d'Italia organisers RCS Sport said the Red Bull KM "will feature a Red Bull branded kilometre, which will serve as the 'gateway' to the only intermediate sprint that counts toward the general classification."
